SEND Local Offer
Please note the following:
- Our compulsory full-time curriculum runs from 8.40am to 5.00pm, with a further 1-1.5 hours dedicated to prep in the evening. It is undeniably a long school day.
- All students at Holyport College study a compulsory foreign language. All students are required to undertake a modern foreign language (French or Spanish) up to and including GCSE level as part of their statutory curriculum entitlement.
- In Years 7 and 8, all pupils are placed in mixed ability sets. This is different to larger local secondary schools, who have the ability to set students of different abilities across a greater number of classes (up to 10 in some cases).
- As our classrooms are designed for 24 students they are, by their nature, physically small – with limitations on the number of support staff able to effectively operate within them.
- The College is unable to provide additional adult support for any child in the classroom unless this is specifically mandated and funded within an individual’s EHCP.
